what is astrology?
Astrology is the traditional art of judgment from the heavens. Planets don’t cause events; they signify them like a clock signifies noon. The craft uses a strict grammar: planets as significators, houses as topics, signs as qualities, aspects as interactions, refined by sect, dignities, speed, visibility and rulership chains. Done properly, astrology delivers clarity about your circumstances, timing for decisions, and practical counsel to meet fate with prudence. In the stars we find the oracle. Its rhythms and mysteries reflect our own. The astrologer acts as an intermediary, pointing to your place in the stream of fate. With careful observation, we work together to bridge the seemingly disconnected notes of life and reveal a melody that can be as mundane as it is indicative of a personal mystery.
What follows is practical. If the sky signifies season, the wise task is to meet each season in its own terms: move when doors open, endure when they are shut, and spend your will where it counts. Astrology names the terrain and the weather so you can walk it with courage, neither fatalists nor naive, but oriented. It does not replace your judgement; it sharpens it. In a disordered age, this is why the art endures: it restores proportion, situates you in a larger order, and invites you to live deliberately. In this space—before your eyes and at your hands—the world becomes saturated with meaning and we find the entrance into living myth where the impersonal force of the daimon becomes prevalent.
